Disclaimer: Well duh, I don't own Harry Potter.



When Hearts Intertwine

"Yes, finally," Harry exclaimed. His 7th year graduation. "A full fledged wizard! Auror to boot.

Who could ask for more?" He tripped over something and fell flat on his face. Broken glasses.

"Geeze. Now what was that spell again?" He was yanked to his feet by a firmly grasping hand.

"Auculous Repairo," a familliar voice said. Harry looked up. LUPIN!!! Harry hadn't seen him in ages.

"Watch where you step Harry. By the way, I heard you say, "What more could a man ask for?" Harry stared

at him with a confused face. "Vwala," Lupin brandished two necklaces with a blue orb on one, red on the other.

"Give the red one to the girl you love," he stated simply. "It's like one of those muggle necklaces with two hearts

that make a whole."

Love. Not something he had experienced since...since Cho. "Thanks, but who will I give it to?"

Lupin just grinned. Harry knew what he ment. Lately, people began to focus more on Hermione and Him than their own

relationships. He always denied it, but truth was he was crazy in love with her. He wanted to express his feelings to Hermione

but whenever he was close to her he could only utter enough to hold a simple conversation. He rattled his brain for a decision. Fine. He would give

the red one to her. Lupin had already walked off and could be heard laughing, even from a distance. Harry wondered why. (note this is a

magical world, what could these necklaces do, gee I wonder)

Hermione was talking to her parents, near the entrance of the great hall, who were crying. "Hermione, could I speak

to you," Harry called out.

"Sure Harry." He took her hand for the first time ever that moment and guided her away from her parents. Hermione

was completely shocked how good she felt clasping his hand, but she acted completely normal. Harry brandished the red necklace.

"Hermione, I uh, want you to have this. I, well I-I, really lo-care about you and we've been friends for so long and I don't

want you to forget me and-" Hermione cut him short. (she doesn't have the necklace yet)

"Thanks.......Harry....actually I wanted to say something about that too. Well, as you know I'm a Auror as well, and so we'll be

working together alot and...." She nearly hit herself in the head. Cut to the point she told herself. "Harry..uh...I....." There was

a long pause. Hermione looked down to the floor. Harry stood there wondering what was wrong when he saw a tear drip to the ground. Before

he could say anything she ran off.

Harry decided to follow her, but Ron appeared at that moment and dragged him up to the common room where the 7th years were sharing

alchohaulic beverages. Yours truly swiped them from The Three Broomsticks. Harry examined Ron for a short amount of time before realizing

Ron was drunk. Typical. Harry didn't take a drink but remained there and visited with his friends, relieving his mind of Hermione.

That night he went to sleep wondering when he would see Hermione again. Maybe he could tell her tonight.....here in the castle..the place they

first met.
